Templates.
Lots of templates.
Possibly some very custom magic items.

What you have is the "Superman problem", too good at too many things to make an accurate representation, so you're going to have to pick and choose, or make it gestalt, or caster-shenanigans or....


A good "budget Lobo (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/barbarian/archetypes/paizo---barbarian-archetypes/invulnerable-rager)" would be Invulnerable Rager Barbarian. Solid DR/- and Rage for smashing things.

Don't forget Lobo is a bounty hunter. He knows how to track someone (even in space) and can follow them to wherever they are, even if they can shapeshift.

Isn't lobo that guy who looks kinda like he watched The Crow a bunch while doing bench presses at the gym?

And he uses a spiked chain right?

Just make him a spike chain swinging warblade.

Edit: ooooh I just googled him. Maybe add some crystal meth to the goth makeup and steroids.

Lobo is a satire of Rob Liefeld "90's anti-heros" that evolved into a decent character in his own right.
Overly muscled, overly badass, over the top.

Sounds like a warblade to me

Derp. My bad. Barbarian sounds right then.

Dreamscarred Press did a ToB update for PF. You'll probably find a warblade-esque thing there.
In the case of Lobo, I'd just build him as a unique creature with loads of abilities, then throw on some class levels.

Barbarian/Ranger with lots of templates.

i dont know how barbarian/ranger would work in this scenario. i mean barb tends to dump int and cha and i think int is needed for casting ranger spells. just read his description apparently he uses wisdom.
